Environmental Horticulture is more than making the world around us a
beautiful place. It's about creating environments that function
practically, aesthetically and in harmony with nature. Environmental
Horticulture means growing the plants, designing the spaces and
installing the landscapes.

It's working with people to maintain and improve the parks, gardens
and spaces that make our communities great places to work and play.
Environmental Horticulture is a diverse and satisfying field to make a
career. And the field is growing!

Opportunities for creative expression, a desire to work with a
beautiful product, enjoyment of hands-on creativity, and a
determination to make the most important moments in life truly
special, are just a few of the reasons students choose to study
floristry at City College of San Francisco.

Since the
1930's, students from the Floristry Division have launched satisfying
careers in the "flower industry," giving the Environmental
Horticulture and Floristry Department an impressive international
reputation.

The Floristry Program offers a complete curriculum that maintains
strong links with flower shop owners, growers, wholesalers and
manufacturers, (many of whom are CCSF graduates).

In
addition, the Department has a very active Student Chapter of the
American Institute of Floral Designers, receiving numerous national
awards for design excellence.
